  2. L'ombre de Saddam

    Elayi, Josette
    Paris : Lemieux, c2015.

    "Qu'est-ce qui avait pu entraîner Frank Durand dans les mirages compliqués et dangereux du désert irakien en 1975? Rien ne serait arrivé si l'avion Bagdad-Paris qui transportait sa fiancée irakienne, originaire de Tikrit, ne s'était crashé. Surtout, son chemin n'aurait jamais croisé celui de Saddam Hussein, l'homme fort de Tikrit, le futur tyran au double visage. Dans ce désert où chaque pas est un piège, l'inconsolable fiancé français a également rencontré Rolf, archéologue trafiquant et espion : un engrenage qui a fini par le dépasser et l'a mené jusque dans une geôle de la sinistre prison d'Abou Ghraib. Trente ans après, Frank, qui pensait s'être libéré de son cauchemar, doit affronter de nouveau la malédiction irakienne dans ce pays en proie aux pires aléas de l'histoire. Avec subtilité et précision, entre conte oriental et polar historique, l'auteur, qui est aussi une spécialiste du monde irakien, nous guide dans le dédale chaotique d'un pays attachant et accablant, où s'agite encore l'ombre de Saddam Hussein."--P. [4] of cover.

  3. The president's gardens

    Ramlī, Muḥsin
    London : Maclehose Press, 2017.

    One Hundred Years of Solitude meets The Kite Runner in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. "A contemporary tragedy of epic proportions. No author is better placed than Muhsin Al-Ramli, already a star in the Arabic literary scene, to tell this story. I read it in one sitting". Hassan Blasim, winner of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize for The Iraqi Christ. On the third day of Ramadan, the village wakes to find the severed heads of nine of its sons stacked in banana crates by the bus stop. One of them belonged to one of the most wanted men in Iraq, known to his friends as Ibrahim the Fated. How did this good and humble man earn the enmity of so many? What did he do to deserve such a death? The answer lies in his lifelong friendship with Abdullah Kafka and Tariq the Befuddled, who each have their own remarkable stories to tell. It lies on the scarred, irradiated battlefields of the Gulf War and in the ashes of a revolution strangled in its cradle. It lies in the steadfast love of his wife and the festering scorn of his daughter. And, above all, it lies behind the locked gates of The President's Gardens, buried alongside the countless victims of a pitiless reign of terror. Translated from the Arabic by Luke Leafgren.
